Toughness of a Kansas Boom.

The Emporia Republican says: The
booms in the southwest are getting so
thick that the engineers on the rail road
are afraid lest one viii suddenly make
its appearance some day IN front of their
locomotive and wreck the train. a Kan
sas boom is great deal tougher than
a Mexican broncho, and if a train col
lides with one the result will be a disas-
trous smashup, but the boom will not
be hurt. Tile Legislature shonh pass

LIKE WICHITA LIKE DODGE
What 4 Boom has Done.

The Wichita Republic says; 1t is no
use to draw on the imagination to speak
of the glory of Wichita. The truth
reads like fiction, and the real-estate
transfers read like continued stories
whose length is too great for publication
in weekly paper, and its publication
III the dailics is of more Importance to
the city than columns of hfalutln taffy
talk about The Majestical Mascot of
the Meridian etcctcra, The Wichita
OF the present Is an anomaly, and it's
future is beyond comparison. He who
complies its history correctly, as it
advances is Il benefactor He who exag-
crates, Injuries the cause, that he claims
to advocate. Ii you send articles to
your friends in the east you should
send truthful ones, for it is hard for
an eastern man to believe even the truth
as it Is, a condensed statement of facts
is worth oceans of fiction, and reliable
statistical report is worth more than
columns of attractive head lines. The
increase of manufactures in our midst
tells a tale of future prosperity that can
not be duplicated in any system of word
power that may be exhibited iu the col
umns Of our daily contemporaries.
